Not sure Smallbone would make it that far into the box as a CDM. Although actually he might because he never seems to be in the correct position when Martin plays him there..

BranfootsLoveChild Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) On another note, do you guys have confidence in McCarthy? The ball wasn't being played to him anywhere near as much as Bazunu. Which was understandable last week but I wonder if they will adopt that strategy this week? Edited April 20 by BranfootsLoveChild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was noticing that, as long as McCarthy got the ball to one of the defenders, the auto passing kicked in. They're so used to receiving it under all sorts of scenarios, they can deal with nearly anything. It might not be as fluid, and if team's press high in packs, there may be some scares. But, if they do that, we should have worked on where McCarthy can hook it to, and have someone like Sule waiting to torment opponents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Hope we're not being over protective with Downes. If it's "only a knock" then surely better to play him in a "must win" game rather than playing someone inferior and out of position? Unless of course his injury is more serious than we were led to believe... Regardless.... COYR!!! Edited April 20 by trousers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coalman Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 That midfield looks.... porous. Brooks isn't going to tackle back much either. On the plus side we've picked our strongest back 4. And Che's banjo is ready to continue its end of season feast. Good to see Dibling on the bench as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I expected Downes not to play. Hopefully it is just precautionary with Tuesday(today's result dependent) being where biggest need for him lies. Like others the refusal to start Charles, despite him deputising ably midweek, is very odd. Hope the midfield doesn't end up being unbalanced and cost us the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objectively, play offs are still much more likely than top 2 and if there is any chance of Downes injury being made worse, we won't want to risk him being potentially ruled out for a longer spell including the play offs, which would be disastrous. So I can understand the caution to be honest. I just don't understand the choice for his replacement! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just typed this response out then thought fuck it, why try and take the emotion out of it… we need to win today and the pressure we’re putting on the rest will pay and we’ll go up automatically. Win each game and that pressure build so Downes should have been risked. ‘Think if there’s a risk that playing him now that the knock gets aggravated and puts him out for the season, it’s the right call. We need to win all our games including two away against teams ahead of us and even then that might not be enough for automatic. Probability is we’re in the play offs and we’ll stand a much better chance of we have Downes in the team going into it.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
